Guardianship
Protecting Those Who Can No Longer Make Decisions Alone
Guardianship becomes necessary when an individual is no longer able to make informed, safe decisions about their personal well-being or finances, or is vulnerable to exploitation. It is a legal process that grants a trusted person the authority to act on their behalf. Because it can significantly impact personal rights, guardianship should be considered only after all less restrictive alternatives have been explored and found ineffective or unavailable. At Haiman Law, we help families navigate this complex process with compassion and clarity.
